[issue5949] IMAP4_SSL spin because of SSLSocket.suppress_ragged_eofs

Ben, I understand that we are all volunteers here. My frustration in the
lack of a de facto owner of the imaplib module and not with you
personally or any other committer for that matter.

As it is, there is no unittests for the imaplib module, and I am not in
a position to provide a complete implementation of an IMAP server.
However, I have attached a simple script demonstrating the issue. An
unpatched trunk will infinite loop, consuming memory, and a patched
version will throw a Traceback immediately.
